Another case in the Forbes magazine relates with the innovation and transformation of the organization is Hurry Up and Wait by Jessica Tan in page “26”. The case is about the case of Biopolis that create by the Jackie Ying for treat of the cancer. The innovation ideas are being research by the Jackie Ying now and hope can get the benefits for all the people around the world. The title of this case is write as “A decade on, Singapore’s hugely ambitious Biopolis has the science but it is not yet standard bearer. Renowned researcher Jackie Ying is impatiently hopeful.”.
The latest innovation ideas come out by the professor Jackie Ying is about the cancer screening Micro-Kit that could obviate many patients waits. The Micro-Kit is a portable automated diagnostic system that will allow rapid, easy and affordable tests for cancer, avian flu and other infectious diseases. It also can perform automated gene extraction in only six minutes and gene detection within an hour. The innovation ideas – Micro-Kit is bringing the transformation for the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology and brings it become famous in the Singapore. “According to the research firm Frost and Sullivan, the economy of Singapore will be increase based on the late-stage development and clinical trials for the Micro-Kit market.” This show that the innovation develops the new product is influents the people, outcome, method that are using and the context of the organization and also the country.
The innovation of the Biopolis is related with the task appraisal model. That is combination of the four core element for the transformation of the organization such as context, outcome, people and method. The professor Ying is understood the people involved in the research of innovation ideas. A thousand of PHD is recruitment by the professor Ying for successful the research of creating the new technology for preventing or treat the problem of cancer. Ying understands the personal orientation of her partners and she divides the job to them according for their orientation. In addition, the professor Ying also knows about the customer she need to face. The customer of the institute bioengineering and Nanotechnology is the patient who suffers from cancer and the hospital. They not need to wait for long time for screening of the cancer and take the result. They can know the result as soon as possible and can always look after their body.
The leader of this changing method is Professor Jackie Ying. She has big influent and leverage to implement the new alternative for success in the area of Cancer. She develops and researches much new technology to help identify the problem of cancer and another illness that face by the people. The sponsor of the Institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology is Singapore government. It given the support of material and equipment for this institute to research and developed more technology for help the people in the country. In addition, some of the innovation product and service invention by the professor Ying and her partner is selling to the foreign country and increase the business value of the country and making the transformation of the institute.
In addition, another factor that influent the innovation of the Institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology is situational outlook in the task appraisal model. Situational outlook focuses on understanding the context surrounding the task. The main issue of the situation outlook in this case is about how the climate or context helps in determine and design the new product and service for the Micro-Kit. The context of this case is described about the experience and knowledge of the public in the ideas of solving the problem of cancer. The professor Ying has describe about the situation and ambiguity she is worried in area research for medical and application for preventing the cancer. The situation now in Singapore is “bottleneck” in the climate of researchers about the medical and solution for the cancer sickness. She also mention that the small Singapore company in general lack of experience, big-ideas thinking but not implementing, distribution network and industry contact is lack and less of things for VC.
Another situational outlook in this case is the scope, scale and the time for design and developing the innovation ideas for transformation of the organization. The level of resource, time and budget available in the task need to be depth understanding so that can obtain more information about how to make the transformation of the company. The budget of the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology is supply by the government. If the funds cannot be raise than the researchers in the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology need to do by themselves in slowly ways. This were make the competitor run ahead of them if they product and services implement slowly. So the factor of situational outlook need to be considers by them for research the useful application for the problem cancer.
When considering the situational outlook that has three different things need to be focuses. First the context may be ready for the task and the method to be used. Second may need to intervene to modify either the context itself or the task will be work. Finally may need be decide to wait or withdraw after considering the context. The institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology consider the context then taking the method for successful transformation of the organization.
The methodology using for the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in the task appraisal model is shares of sales royalties. They make the policy and legitimate for the product that have been design and developed. In addition, they also use the method cooperation globalization. They cooperate with other researches in the foreign country and working together for develop the new vaccines for solving the problem cancer and other unknown diseases. They provide different method for help in change, but there is no single and perfect method to fits all situations, people and outcomes. Each methods has it owns challenges and strength. Professor Ying also consider about the government funds (context) and the level of knowledge and skills that owns by her partners.
The desired outcome is playing other important roles for transformation the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. The desired outcome is the end result of the change effort. The desired outcome that achieves by the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology are getting a lot of work patented, getting prototypes ready and getting spinoffs. In addition, the main desire outcome is famous in the biotechnology in the world and creates more application such as vaccines to help people. The desired future states that achieve by the area biotechnology in Singapore are from 2000 to 2009. In 2000, government announces concerted biomedical initiative and identify sector as an economic pillar. In 2002, help the Alan Colman, British scientist to clone the sheep Dolly. In 2004, open the institute Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. In 2006, Singapore is aiming to deepen basic science capabilities. In 2007, government say there will be no rethinking in biomed policy. In 2009, not success stories are come out yet.
The transformation of the institutes Bioengineering and Nanotechnology is potentially to become one of the first few successes stories in the Singapore and even the world.
